UNSPSC 85581410 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from mouth and throat, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving removal of non-biological tissue substitutes from oral and pharyngeal sites, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect instead general occupational and disability medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tissue substitute removal. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or that the code has been repurposed in practice to encompass broader medical services categories that do not fit the literal procedure name.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out and Centers of Excellence networks, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, due April 9, 2026, representing approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). The code does not demonstrate material recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
